We find the following in a note on p. 334 of Ads of the Chapter of Ripon (Surtees Society, vol. Ixiv.) : * Our forefathers used any substitutes for the Oriental folm that came most readily to hand : in Italy, olive branches; in France, box or laurel; in Russia, some kind of sallow; in England, the yellow flowering sallow, yew, and box; in Scotland^ the sallow; ia Ireland, the yew. The term palm is popularly apphed in the north of England and in Scotland to the yeuow Fallow, and in the south to the yew. In North Torkshire
- palm crosses' are made ever^r Palm Sunday, and hung up in tho
cottages till the next year; so, in Ireland, tufts of vewthat have been bless^ as palms. In the prayer of benediction of the palms, the words of the Roman missal are, '* henedic etiam et lioa ramospalmce et olivae; " in the Parisian, " hos frondium ramM; " in Sarum, xork, and Here- ford, ** ho8 palmar um casterarumque arborum ramos.^* There is no mention of the custom previous to the eighth or ninth century.'
